Chapter 171: The Arrival of the Great Elder of the Zhen Family (2)
Those are just the people below. Xiao Yan said angrily, and then glanced at Le Shaolong displeasedly.
Le Shaolong's face turned slightly red, feeling deeply ashamed of the actions he had just hinted at, and hurriedly explained: "Wuchen, you don't know something. The blood contract of the Xiao family team is not in Young Master Xiao's hands, but in the hands of the eldest lady."
"
Isn’t it?”
Jing Wuchen was shocked, his mind was in chaos, the fighting power was not controlled by Xiao Yan himself? He turned his attention to Zhen Ni, thinking that the relationship between Xiao Yan and the eldest daughter of the Zhen family was not as simple as the rumors.
Indeed. Zhen Ni smiled and lowered her eyes.
After receiving Zhen Ni's recognition, Jing Wuchen came back from his trance and turned to look at Xiao Yan, unable to say a single word. It was difficult to describe his mood at this time with any words. Xiao Yan's trust was stronger than before.
Xiao Yan did not kill him and silenced him, but he was moved. He suddenly realized that Xiao Yan, who was not even tall, gradually seemed taller in his eyes.
Okay, don't talk about mother-in-law and mother-in-law anymore. If you are a brother, please take back the blood contract. With a faint smile on his lips, Xiao Yan pursed his lips towards Jing Wuchen.
Okay, brother, I won’t say anything else. Jing Wuchen is not a pedantic person. He took back the blood contract and solemnly said, don’t worry, as long as I am here, the intelligence agency will always be the eyes and ears of the Xiao Mansion. Even if it is knifed.
In the sea of fire under the mountain, as long as you give an order, Brother Xiao, I will never frown!"
It was me and Long Yi who stood in front of me when we were on the mountain of swords and under the sea of fire. How could it be your turn? Xiao Yan laughed and cursed. When he heard footsteps coming from outside the hall, the conversation changed. The person chosen for you has arrived. Let's see if he is satisfied with it.
"
Quickly gathering his mind, Jing Wuchen looked at the door. When he saw ten Five-Star Dou Emperors walking in grandly one by one, he smiled so hard that he could hardly close his mouth. Satisfied, satisfied, very satisfied! That look,
The son-in-law, who was more interested in her than the mother-in-law, also made more concessions, which made everyone laugh.
After briefly introducing Jing Wuchen to the ten Five-Star Dou Emperors and briefly talking about the tasks that the ten people would undertake in the future, Le Shaolong led the ten people to Zhen Ni.
Zhen Ni said seriously to the ten people: From now on, you will work under the leadership of Jing Wuchen, and you must obey Jing Wuchen absolutely. Maybe this will delay your cultivation, but your future work is very important to Xiao Mansion and is related to
Can Xiao Mansion rise quickly? From now on, you must cut off all contact with our main team and cut off all ties with Xiao Mansion, but you will always be members of Xiao Mansion. I believe you will do it.
It's outstanding. When the day comes when the Xiao Mansion truly rises, Mr. Xiao will personally celebrate your success. Also, protect yourself and don't be careless in the slightest, do you understand?"
The ten people said in unison: I will definitely live up to the expectations of Young Master Xiao and Miss Xiao!"
Jing Wuchen rubbed his hands excitedly and said to Xiao Yan: I will take them back to plan and arrange the expansion. I won’t stay any longer this time. Next time, I will find a private place to drink him until he is drunk!"
Okay, then call the Raging Dragon and Chaos Eternal and have a good drink."
Xiao Yan laughed heartily, stood up and sent Jing Wuchen and ten members of the main team out, waving goodbye.
After returning to the hall and sitting down again, Xiao Yan asked Qing Haoran: Why is my eldest brother so silent today?"
Qing Haoran smiled and said: Although Jing Wuchen seems cynical and a little frivolous, in fact he attaches great importance to friendship and is a trustworthy person. Why should I say more? Facts have proved that you handled it very well. "
Zhen Ni looked forward to it, her eyes full of smiles: What the Demon King said is absolutely true. Although he sometimes laughs and laughs without formality, he is extremely serious every time he talks about business. I believe he will take the information
The organization has done a good job and believes in his loyalty to Mr. Xiao."
Speaking of what I did wrong, I actually felt a little worried at that time. Le Shaolong's face was full of shame.
What's wrong with you? In your position, you should fulfill your responsibilities. It's too late for me to be happy about your caution. Xiao Yan waved his hand, signaling Le Shaolong not to take it personally.
By the way, Mr. Xiao, do you want to hand over the relationship with the Huoli in Dan Palace to Jing Wuchen and the others? Zhen Ni asked.
Xiao Yan thought for a while, shook his head and said: No. Huoli has a special status, and it was not developed by Wuchen and the others. If it is handed over to Wuchen and the others, I am worried that Huoli will develop resistance and defensive psychology, so I should just control it directly.
It’s more suitable for us.”
Zhen Ni nodded, and Qing Muer interrupted: She said you are not good at collecting information, but I think you are quite a thief."
Zhen Ni joked: He is just lazy."
Qing Mu'er pouted and nodded, "Hmm, now you know why I called him a little liar, right?"
Everyone couldn't help laughing.
Xiao Yao took a sip of tea happily and said happily: The Xiao Mansion has its own intelligence agency, and the rise of the Xiao Clan will accelerate a little faster, which is really exciting!"
Ancestor, just take a look, if things continue like this, it won't be long before the Xiao clan will surprise the entire Doudi Continent."
Le Shaolong's words attracted everyone's agreement.
Just when everyone was laughing and joking, an urgent report suddenly came from outside the hall! The eldest elder of the Zhen family is visiting!"
The eldest elder of the Zhen family?"
What is he here for?"
Nan Erming, Xiao Zhan and others looked at each other, with confusion and confusion on their faces; Xiao Yao stood up nervously, with a look of fear on his face; Xiao Yan was thoughtful, holding the celadon tea cup to his lips.
Qing Haoran chuckled and said: Don't be nervous, it should be a good thing. It seems that my brother was right not to go to Zhen's house last time."
The tense atmosphere in the hall immediately eased, and Xiao Zhan couldn't help but ask excitedly: So, it's the Zhen family who sent us gifts to lure us here?"
Qing Haoran nodded lightly. Everyone looked at each other happily, and all showed expectant smiles.
Only Le Shaolong didn't laugh. He sighed softly, this gift is hard to accept! Then he analyzed calmly, if you accept it, the Xiao clan will be admitting to continue to be a subsidiary family of the Zhen family; if you don't accept it, it will be useless.
Different from breaking up with the Zhen family, we can’t afford to offend such a big force like the Zhen family now!”
Zhen Ni remained silent, obviously agreeing with Le Shaolong's view.
Xiao Yao looked at Xiao Yan anxiously, and when he saw Xiao Yan was frowning in thought, he quickly looked at Qing Haoran for help. Xiao Yao was not like Le Shaolong, he had a sense of belonging to the Zhen family, even though he dreamed of the Xiao family
Although he became stronger, he never thought of severing ties with the Zhen family and becoming his own independent family.
Qing Haoran smiled understandingly and said: Shaolong's worry is not unreasonable. But I wonder if you have ever thought about it, what do the Xiao Clan and the Xiao Mansion lack most now? The most lacking time for development! Having the Zhen family as the backing will definitely bring more benefits.
The bad thing is that at least it will make those forces who are eyeing him more worried, and the development will be smoother. Having said this, he glanced at Zhen Ni meaningfully, and then looked at Xiao Yan, and, Xiao Clan
The relationship with the Zhen family is quite delicate and cannot be analyzed in a normal way. Brother, what do you think?"
Le Shaolong and everyone were saved. Xiao Yan and the Xiao clan had to face not only the Zhen family, but Xiao Yan also had to face his future father-in-law. If Xiao Yan refused to accept the comfort and olive branch extended by the Zhen family,
If the Xiao clan is independent from its dependence on the Zhen family, the relationship between the Xiao clan and the Zhen family will inevitably deteriorate. Not only will it be extremely detrimental to the development of the Xiao family, but it will also be extremely painful for Zhen Ni to be caught in the middle.
Glancing around at the people who were waiting for him to make a decision, and then looking at Xiao Yao who was full of anxiety and Zhen Ni who was bowing his head silently, Xiao Yan smiled as if he didn't know anything and said: "Why are you all looking at me? What's wrong with the Zhen family?"
This is a good thing for us! Why don’t you accept it? Accept it! Only fools don’t take advantage of it!”
Everyone laughed, Xiao Yao let out a sigh of relief, and the stone in Zhen Ni's heart fell to the ground.
Qing Haoran praised: Too strong is easy to break, too soft is easy to lose, a combination of hardness and softness is the way to grow, brother, your decision is right."
But Zhen Ni could hear that although Xiao Yan took it for granted, there was still a bit of unwillingness in his tone. She was very moved in her heart. She knew that Xiao Yan made such a decision, partly for the Xiao clan, and partly for the sake of the Xiao clan.
Half of it was because of her. She hurriedly said: Then let's go out to meet the great elder, don't keep him waiting too long."
Brother, sit down with Mu'er for a moment while the others go together."
What kind of status does the Demon Emperor have? Even if Zhen Ni's father, the Human Emperor Zhen Zongfu, comes in person, there is no need to get up to greet him, let alone the eldest elder of the Zhen family.
Outside the gate of Xiao Mansion, the eldest elder of the Zhen family, dressed in white, stood hanging in the air.
The patterns on the chest of the white clothes are embroidered with extremely rare gold threads. The golden luster reflected by the sunlight makes the silk white clothes look luxurious yet elegant, showing the style of a generation sect elder.
However, compared to the brilliance of the golden luster, the face of the eldest elder of the Zhen family was slightly gloomy. He originally thought that as the eldest elder of the Zhen family, he would come to visit in person, and Xiao Yan would definitely lead everyone in the Xiao family to his satisfaction.
When he came to greet him, he never thought that the guard had already gone in to report for a long time, but there was no movement from Xiao's mansion. Thinking about Xiao Yan's refusal to answer the call with excuses before, this made him feel even more unhappy.
Just when his brows were about to twist into a knot, Xiao Yan and the others finally came out to greet him.
Seeing the unkind look on the face of the eldest elder of the Zhen family, Xiao Yao hurried forward and bowed deeply: "Xiao Yao is late to welcome you, I hope the eldest elder will not be surprised."
With a slight hum, the eldest elder of the Zhen family nodded proudly.
Knowing that the eldest elder of the Zhen family had a grudge against the current Xiao clan and Xiao Mansion, Xiao Yao smiled bitterly and turned away, silent.
But Xiao Yan, who had suppressed the wave of Dou Qi to the early stage of Five Stars before he came out, felt his heart sink and stopped moving forward. His face that was still smiling immediately turned cold. To be continued.
